Plenty of Peyton Manning nostalgia in the Pro Bowl

The fun thing about All Star games is watching players from different teams playing on the same team.

In Peyton Manning’s case, it was fun to see him reconnect with some old teammates.

The Broncos quarterback threw his first pass of the day to Colts receiver Reggie Wayne, a man with whom he had a long history with in Indianapolis.

Later, Manning reunited with his old center Jeff Saturday, who now plays for the Packers. Saturday (a curious Pro Bowl selection since he doesn’t actually start in Green Bay) joined the AFC team for one play to deliver one last snap to his old quarterback.

Saturday told an Indianapolis radio station this week that he plans to retire after the Pro Bowl.

He ran off the field after that one play, taking the ball with him.
